"Winterlight." It sounds like the name of a delightful holiday candle scent, but alas, for Karigan G'ladheon, it signifies something far less cozy. In this latest epic, our perpetual protagonist must solve the mystery of a cursed object that could unleash chaos upon Sacoridia. It's a bit like figuring out the purpose of a kitchen gadget you never knew you needed—only with the fate of the kingdom at stake. SFcrowsnest readers, prepare to add "object of doom" to your fantasy vocabulary.
The Green Rider’s task is complicated by the fact that it seems everyone and their mystical cousin wants to get their hands on this accursed thingamajig. Trust no one is the mantra, as alliances blur and even those within the Green Rider ranks may have dubious intentions. Winterlight brings literal and metaphorical chills, unraveling new secrets and diving deeper into the labyrinthine politics of a land that really should consider simplifying its governance structure. Just a suggestion from us, as governance simplicity seems to be as rare in epic fantasy as dragons in our daily commutes.
